Why Treasury payments and USAID?

ITS VERY SIMPLE, FOLLOW THE MONEY

IF YOUR LOOKING FOR FRAUD, START WITH THE PAYMENTS 

Much ado about DOGE or "Department of government efficiency" getting access to the U.S. government payments. In effect, a record of every dollar officially spent by the U.S. government, it is a lot of dollars, and growing by the day.

We hear weeping and gnashing of teeth that now Musk and his cohorts are going to rob the treasury or use the data to intimidate senior citizens. If we want to look at the finances of the federal government, then we need to examine all the expenditures, the treasury is the place to start and expect we will see follow ups to other places once they examine what is going on at treasury.

Yes, the question is, are all the social security payments going to live senior citizens that actually exist? Are payment going to people who are actually eligible for such payment? Social security is just part of this plan, all departments will likely have their payments scrutinized and that has to start by examining the governments payments. Just wait until they get to the defense department, that should be very interesting.

It seems the first casualty is the USAID program, sounds so nice and wholesome, giving food and medical supplies to the unfortunate. The reality is this $50 billion, and likely more, is often used to funnel money into countries targeted by the CIA to cause disruption and hopefully regime change all around the world. The problem is it has become so blatant that much of the world now knows what is happening and it is causing a loss of credibility and respect for the U.S.. It appears it is now going to be under the control of the state department and we can assume that real aid will resume without the strings.   

Fraud and abuse are the first priority of DOGE, and maybe they will find that all is well, that would be good news. Then they will move to efficiency, new policies, new computer programs, maybe even AI, a penny saved is like a penny earned still. There are lots of pennies being spent, I expect a new look can go along way to getting the most bang for the taxpayers dollars.
